Kelly Osbourne's Street Style

I am obsessed with Fashion Police on E! Not only is it a show dedicated completely to fashion, one of my favorite topics, but I adore Giuliana Rancic and Kelly Osbourne. I think they both have great sense of style--not to mention funny. I decided to dedicate today's post to Kelly's totally unique girly/rocker style.

What do you think of Kelly Osbourne's street style? Do you watch Fashion Police? Tell me your thoughts in the comments below! Please stop by my second blog, Thoughts of a Fashionista! Over there I talk about movies and books. I would be so grateful if you went over to take a look!

Emma Watson: Life at Brown University

Emma Watson graced the cover of Marie Claire. Despite the blogger scandal that rocked day-time television [a blogger said that watching Mike and Molly disgusted her because they were obese], I was glad that they featured Emma Watson. She is so classy and smart and not to mention a style icon.

"My last day was pretty emotional. It was sad; it's the end of an era. What an amazing learning experience! I gave everything I could to that role, and I got so much from it." Emma Watson in a Vera Wang jacket, Ohne titel tights, Burberry shoes, and assorted jewelry [left]. Emma Watson in Fendi dress, Camilla and Marc bodysuit, Sass and Bide embellished vest, and Christian Louboutin shoes [right].  

"I'm glad I saw [the Harry Potter franchise] through to the end; I played that character from the start, and I wanted to finish what I started. It felt very satisfying that I had completed Hermione's journey." Emma Watson in J. Mendel vest, Ralph Lauren Blue Label pants, Lulu Frost bib necklace, Aandre Neen bracelet, and Fenton pendant necklace [right]. Emma in Burberry Prorsum jacket, top and Minnie Mortimer shorts [left].

"I've wanted to [cut my hair] since I was about 16...It's very short; it was buzzed at the back and on the sides. And it's really liberating that I can walk out without thinking about it." Emma Watson in Helmut Lang top, Marc Jacobs panty, Jimmy Choo shoes, and assorted bangles.

"I threw my 20th birthday party at Brown, and I didn't even have to say to anyone not to put pictures on Facebook. Not a single picture went up. That was when I knew I'd found a solid group of friends, and I felt like I belonged." Emma Watson in a DKNY top, Alexander Wang leggings, J. Mendel Vest, and assorted jewelry [left].

 I got an email from a young girl and she asked me if I could periodically update you guys about the books that I'm reading. I used to do that a lot but I've been slacking. Partially because I've been slacking on reading. I normally try to read a book a week but sometimes that doesn't happen.
 
Well, right now I'm reading True Compass by Edward "Ted" Kennedy. He passed away recently and I just find the entire Kennedy family fascinating. JFK and Jackie O. Iconic family and Ted's memoir gives a little insight on this private family.

Kirsten Dunst's Street Style

Did a bit of Christmas shopping last night. Now, I'm just going to vegetate for the rest of the day. Well, except for finishing this blog and cleaning my room. Its been a while since I could see my floor. I'm thinking about doing a giveaway but I'll let you guys know.

Kirsten Dunst wearing beige clogs, black capris, a white tee, and blazer [left] and brown pants, blue loose sweater, and simple wedges [right].

Kirsten Dunst is known for her bleach-blonde bob and her rocker-esque simple style. Plus, Kirsten is among the batilions of celebs who adore their sunglasses. It seems that she barely leaves her house without them. But the choice to wear clogs with a pair of fitted capris was a bold but succesful one.

Kirsten Dunst in a printed black and red sweater, skinny jeans, black sunnies, and brown lace-up booties [left] and light-wash shorts, wedge sandals, a grey blazer, and carmel colored top [right].

Loose fitted sweaters have taken off with celebs and fashionistas everywhere. Very inspired by their distant and slouchy cousins from the 80's, these loose sweaters fit closer to the body and are a modern twist on an old classic. Blazers are always loved. They add a touch of class to a casual look.

What are you doing this holiday season? About to travel to exotic location? Please tell me all about everything? Thank you for reading and I would be so thankful if you would follow my blog. But don't worry, there's no pressure.

Riding with Charlotte Casiraghi

On the European continent, it is no secret that Charlotte Casiraghi has graced the shiny pages of the tabloids more than a couple times. Is it her stunning beatuy or her royal ties? Is it her strong determination or effortless charm that makes her so appealing?

Maybe it is the combination of all these factors. She is not as well known in the States but I blame that mostly on distance. Ms. Casiraghi was recently interview by Vicki Woods in Vogue. She came across as humble and charismatic. She was so impressive that I knew that there was no way I could not feature her in a post. I hope you enjoy.

Today's post was relatively short. But that's because I'm doing two posts today. Please follow my blog if you liked what you read today. Thanks! Talk to you guys soon.

Victoria Beckham in Elle Magazine

There is just something about British style that is so completely different compared to American style. Victoria Beckham is a style icon. She takes risks--most of which that pay off. And she doesn't let main stream media stop her from wearing what she wants to. I adore her fashion and Victoria Beckham Collection.

Victoria was interviewed for Elle Magazine last year. She looked so pretty that I knew that I would have to feature it in one of my posts. And its finally time. The styling was done by Joe Zee--an amazing man! I hope you enjoy!

"When people say...'Poor you, it must've been really difficult'--poor me? I live in Beverly Hills. I'm very, very lucky. I wake up every morning and reconize I'm blessed." Beckham in a Dior Haute Couture jacket [left] and Diour Haute Couture veil [right].  

"You know, I love America. It's such a positive country." Backham in Diane von Furstenberg swim suit paired with Nina Ricci platforms shoes [left] and Valentino gown [right].

Beckham describes herself as the "squarest woman in Beverly Hills" who goes "to a normal movie theater" with her friends to screen, The Hangover. Bekcham in a Stella McCartney jumpsuit and Giorgio Armani Prive pumps [left].  Beckham in Dolce and Gabbana underwear [right].

Eva Mendes, Backham's friend, described her as "the sexiest, most stylish mother in the world." Beckham in a Roberto Cavalli printed silk-gown [left] and Melange cashmere dress paired with a Stephen Jones for Giles leather hat [right].

If you have any celebrity's closet, who would it be? My answer would have to be either Victoria Beckham or Keira Knightley, British version. American version would be Anne Hathaway or Blake Lively. But my answers seem to be constantly changing. Who would you pick? Comment below!!

Emma Robert's Street Style

Emma Roberts is quickly becoming known as more than just Julia Robert's neice. She is also making a name for herself in the fashion world, gracing many 'Best Dressed' lists. But her street style is just as impressive as her red-carpet looks.

Emma wears a loose-fitting cream tee with tight-fitting black jeans. She completes her look with soft waves, black wedges, and simple brown sunglasses. A simple chain necklace adds a touch of delicacy to Emma's outfit on a day of shopping.

Next, Emma looks wonderful in grduge-y boots [comfy shoes with a bit of a heel] and sheer black tights paired with a maroon velvet mini under a grey cardigan. Emma threw up her hair in a simple pony-tail and added a tan bag with a chain handle. Beautiful.

Emma chose a simple black shift with a subtle cinch under the bust-line. When paired with printed black tights and classic ballet flats Emma looks perfect for almost anything. Sunnies are a girl's best friend. So is the tan picture that she has been seen sporting everywhere. Emma opts for jeans when picking pumpkins for Halloween. A sweet 3/4 sleeve white blouse and medium-washed denim is pretty but Emma knows how to add adge with lace-up wedge booties. Emma knows how to look adorable for any occasion. 

Last day of a three day Calculus test. I hope that I don't do too horribly. Math is not my best subject. What was [or is] your favorite subject? Please leave any and all thoughts in the comments and please follow my blog! :) You'd make my day.  Thanks for reading.

Dakota Fanning's Street Style

Dakota Fanning, Homecoming Queen as well as celebrated actress. She was semi-recently given her crown at a crowded football game for her high school, Campbell Hall High School, home of the Vikings. But not only does does Dakota sparkle on the red carpet. She also has super chic, slightly rocker, style.

Dakota's simple black velvet booties blend perfectly into her jeans. It's hard to tell exactly where her boots end and her pants begin. Add a graphic tee and the look is complete. Next, Dakota makes a bold statement with her leopard jacket and then keeps it fairly simple on the bottom. The sunnies are stunning, Dakota.

Who knew panchos could look so good? Dakota opts for a mostly minimalistic look on her airplane trip but that punch of red is perfection. Next, she goes a touch more girly-girl with a simple skirt and top. A military inspired jacket and grudge booties give the look much needed grit. Adore.  

I hope your weekend was great! Mine was. Christmas lights are up outside. :) I feel so merry and bright! What about you? Feeling the Holiday cheer yet?

Olivia Palermo + Valentino Clutch

Most of us know Olivia Palermo from her stint on The City. She wasn't exactly...the nicest girl at Elle Magazine or DVF but there is no doubt that this woman has style. I don't think anyone can argue with that.

Olivia Palermo at the Make Up For Ever launch at Sephora wearing Valentino Rose Sequin Clutch, Top Shop Shrug, Emilio De La Moreno Top and Skirt, Black Bow Booties, and Blue Studded Belt.

Olivia Palermo at a Mango Fashion & Music Night wearing Valentino Rose Sequin Clutch, Jimmy Choo Lace-Up Sandals, Mango Pleated Dress, and an ASOS Ring.

Olivia Palermo at Paris Fashion Week wearing a Valentino Rose Sequin Clutch, Besoni Leopard Print Dress, Valentino Lace Rose Heels, and a Vintage Leopard Belt.

She always looks stunning. On a completely random note I'm just catching up on my politics and humor while watching The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. I find him hilarious and informative at the same time. What do you watch to get your information. Oprah? The View? Ellen? Comment below!

Alexa Chung's Street Style

Alexa Chung has risen in the ranks of my style inspiration. She's fun and modern. Not afraid to take chances. But her taste level is quite outstanding and she makes her risks work. Not exactly easy. :)

She easily tops best dressed lists both in the UK and US. But if you want to know why Alexa considers Williamsburg her lover and London her husband, check out this video on Style.com. Plus you'll get some tips on what to do when you're vintaging.

What do you think of her style?

Alexa mixes the soft and the tough together wonderfully. The off-white lace top balances the masculine, oversized military jacket. Her light-washed jeans  and sandals paired over socks keeps the look casual and young. She is not afraid to show skin but she keeps the look classy by not showing too much.

Alexa is mixing tough and soft again. Biker jacket equals tough while the polka dot dress is a touch of innocence and youth. Who says polka-dots are for little girls? The cut is fairly simple as not to compete with the semi-loud print. The cut-out booties make the outfit fashion rather than pretty girl in cute dress. They're fashion forward and edgy.

Alexa Chung in silver brocade shorts and an oversized cardigan [left] and plaid dress layred under a black peacoat [right].

A flash of metallics every once and a while is completely warranted. The silver brocade shorts sparkle as she leaves the MTV's Times Square Studio. The rest of her outfit is kept simple as to keep from competing with a truly extraordinary piece. Next, he plaid dress--by itself--would have been a little too much plaid. Wether its her confidence or her peacoat, one thing is for sure, she looks stunning. A prefect look for roaming New York City in style.
